Abstract

Fifteen diabetic patients, with neuropathic food ulcers refractory to conventional treatment, were found to be poorly balanced and were put on meticulous regimens; some on continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion and others on split mixed doses. Once diabetes was controlled, the wound healed rapidly in 11 of the patients within 4 to 13 weeks. In 4 patients amputation was necessary. The outcome was better in patients with good peripheral pulses. We suggest that tight control of diabetes promotes healing of diabetic foot lesions.
